About Me

I love romance novels. Whenever I need a break from life (i.e., work, husband, kids, people in general), I read. While regency romances are my primary obsession, I’ll never pass up a hot Navy Seal, an overbearing Scotsman or shape shifting feline. I’ve always got two or three books going–one on the treadmill, another by my bed and occasionally a third sequestered in my office so I can indulge during my lunch break.

When my kids were young, I found reading an easy way to get some “me” time. There’s no prep work, no clean up…it’s a relatively cheap hobby and I can do it anywhere–doctor’s office, soccer field (during warm-ups, not during the game!), and at four in the morning when I wake up and can’t get back to sleep.

Then I decided that writing a novel sounded like fun. I could do it anywhere, right? So I’d grab a notebook and would shoehorn it in among band practices and PTA meetings, work and the occasional date with my husband. Easy peazy.

In no time, reality smacked me in the face like a rake’s dueling glove. Writing was work! It took me about seven years to finish a manuscript, find a publisher, go through all the contract, edit, cover art negotiations and finally get to print.

Works in Progress

Catching a Pixie is a contemporary new adult novella. Lindsay, a graduate student at Roselle University in Delaware doesn’t have time for romance. But when she meets a handsome state trooper from New York, she can’t stop thinking about him. Too bad he lives four hours away–hardly a practical arrangement. Is their attraction strong enough to go the distance?

Gabby has had a crush on her best friend Lindsay’s brother for years. She could never resist Sean’s cute smile, wavy brown hair or gorgeous green eyes. But since he’s considered the charming screw-up in the family, with no prospects for the future, she’s never acted upon it.

That changes the night of Lindsay’s wedding. Sparks and clothing fly. And while the evening turns out even better than Gabby had hoped, there are unfortunate consequences.
